034 – Jef K

Active since 1992, Parisian Jef K has garnered a hugely widespread reputation. Be that via his regular appearances at his hometown’s Rex Club, London’s fabric, or Berlin’s Panorama Bar, or as the supremo of the influential deep house label Silver Network; as one third of The Gathering, the collective (alongside Chez Damier and Chris Carrier) which produced one of 2010’s monster dancefloor riots with In My System, thanks in part to repeated plays from a certain Mr. Villalobos, or perhaps though the label he started alongside Thugfucker’s Holmar Filipsson, Crack & Speed. A varied and versatile talent, this exclusive mix for Crack displays this master of snaking, sensual house in all his glory; depthy grooves, slo-mo grinds and intoxicating basslines merge together in Jef K’s signature, consummately skilled style. Keep an ear out for upcoming Silver Network release Distant Voices, courtesy of fresh German/Persian deep house wunderkind Arash.
